I'd personally say start with Decoration Day. The first album I got by them was The Dirty South, and I really didn't dig it initially. I was turned off by the vocals, and it just didn't seem all that appealing. It grew on me enough to make me check out Decoration Day, which I immediately loved, and then when I listened to The Dirty South again, it clicked for me. To me, Decoration Day is a little more straightforward and heartfelt, whereas The Dirty South is generally darker and quirkier. Either one is a pretty good starting point though.

Interesting to see the Decoration Day love. Among my hardcore DBT friends, the consensus is it is one of their worst albums. I'm not a big fan of it as I'm a Cooley fan and outside of When the Pin Hits the Shell and Sounds Better in the Song, the Cooley songs are pretty bad on it.
